Commenting article: Dutch Embassy in Sofia: There Is No Official Stance on Schengen Enlargement Yet

The Dutch government has not come up with a stance on the Schengen bids of Bulgaria and Romania, according to a media statement of the Dutch Embassy in Sofia.

Commenting on a series of publications in Bulgarian media outlets concerning the expansion of the Schengen zone, the Dutch Embassy in Sofia informs that the Dutch government has no stance on the matter yet.

"The decision of the Dutch government will be made in close cooperation with the other member states before the Justice and Home Affairs Council on March 7-8 2013," the Dutch diplomatic mission in Sofia informs.

If Bulgaria and Romania are allowed to join the Schengen zone, it will create a land bridge for all the illegal immigrants in Greece to invade western Europe. So although the conditions have largely been met, the vested interests of the other EU countries will prevent it happening for as long as possible.

They won't admit to this of course, they will just come up with a raft of petty excuses why it can't happen yet.
